For a more intense lemon flavor, add an additional teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. The cake is best served warm, but can also be enjoyed cold. If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
